DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] FIG. 1 shows an example of a laser bonding apparatus 100 according to the present inventive concepts.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1, the laser bonding apparatus 100 according to the present inventive concepts may include a stage 10, a laser device 20, a first rotation support 30, and/or a second rotation support 40.

[0022] The stage 10 may receive a substrate 12. The substrate 12 may include a printed circuit board (PCB). Alternatively, the substrate 12 may include a silicon wafer or a silicon chip, but the present inventive concepts are not limited thereto. A plurality of semiconductor chips 14 may be provided on the substrate 12. The plurality of semiconductor chips 14 may be stacked or mounted in a third direction Z. For example, the plurality of semiconductor chips 14 may include a high bandwidth memory and/or a package-on-package. Each of the plurality of semiconductor chips 14 may have, for example, a plurality of solder bumps 16 at a lower portion thereof. Although not shown, the stage 10 may move along at least one rail therebelow. The rail may extend in a first direction X or a second direction Y. The stage 10 may allow the substrate 12 to move along the rail in the first direction X or the second direction Y.

[0023] The stage 10 may be provided thereon with the laser device 20 that is supported by the first rotation support 30 and the second rotation support 40. For example, the laser device 20 may be an infrared laser device. The laser device 20 may output a laser beam 22 whose power ranges from about 1 W to about 4,000 W. The laser beam 22 may have a wavelength of about 600 nm to about 1,700 nm. The laser device 20 may provide the plurality of semiconductor chips 14 with the laser beam 22 whose radiation heat is used to heat up the semiconductor chips 14 and the solder bumps 16. The heated solder bumps 16 may be melted to bond the semiconductor chips 14 to each other and/or to the substrate 12.

[0024] The first rotation support 30 and the second rotation support 40 may drive the laser device 20 to slantingly move with respect to the semiconductor chips 14 stacked on the stage 10, and thus the laser device 20 may illuminate the laser beam 22 onto sidewalls or side surfaces of the semiconductor chips 14. For example, the first rotation support 30 may drive the laser device 20 to rotate in an azimuthal angle direction .PHI., and the second rotation support 40 may drive the laser device 20 to rotate in a polar angle direction .theta.. The laser beam 22 may uniformly heat the solder bumps 16 between the plurality of semiconductor chips 14, and may prevent or minimize bonding defects of the plurality of semiconductor chips 14.

[0025] The first rotation support 30 may be located outside the stage 10. For example, the first rotation support 30 may have a circular ring shape. When the stage 10 is provided on a center of the first rotation support 30, the first rotation support 30 may drive both the second rotation support 40 and the laser device 20 to rotate in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI.. The azimuthal angle direction .PHI. may be defined on a plane formed by the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first rotation support 30 may rotate in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI. on the plane formed by the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0026] The second rotation support 40 may support the laser device 20 onto the first rotation support 30. The second rotation support 40 may be associated with opposite outer sidewalls of the first rotation support 30. The second rotation support 40 may include, for example, a plurality of axle parts 42 and an arc part 44. The axle parts 42 may be associated with the opposite outer sidewalls of the first rotation support 30. The axle parts 42 may be provided at opposite ends of the second rotation support 40, and may be rotationally coupled to the opposite outer sidewalls of the first rotation support 30. For example, each of the axle parts 42 may include a shaft. The arc part 44 may be connected between the axle parts 42. The arc part 44 may rotate in the polar angle direction .theta. about a central axis that passes through the axle parts 42. The arc part 44 may support the laser device 20. The laser device 20 may be located on a center of a bottom surface of the arc part 44.

[0027] FIG. 2 shows an example of the second rotation support 40 depicted in FIG. 1.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 2, the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40 may drive the laser device 20 to rotate in the polar angle direction .theta. relative to the third direction Z. The polar angle direction .theta. may indicate an inclined direction of the arc part 44 and the laser device 20 relative to the third direction Z. For example, the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40 may rotate about 0.degree. to about 90.degree. in the polar angle direction .theta. relative to the third direction Z perpendicular to the first rotation support 30. When the arc part 44 causes the laser device 20 to tilt in the polar angle direction .theta., the laser beam 22 may be provided onto the sidewalls of the semiconductor chips 14.

[0029] Referring back to FIG. 1, a diameter direction r may indicate a direction that defines a distance between the laser device 20 and the semiconductor chips 14. The laser beam 22 may provide the semiconductor chips 14 with radiation heat without loss regardless of the distance between the laser device 20 and the semiconductor chips 14. This may be due to the fact that the laser beam 22 has directionality without radial radiation and propagates distantly regardless of the distance defined by the diameter direction r.

[0030] FIG. 3 shows an example of the laser device 20 that rotates in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI. along the first rotation support 30 depicted in FIG. 1.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 3, when the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40 tilts in the polar angle direction .theta., and when the first rotation support 30 rotates in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI., the laser device 20 may irradiate the laser beam 22 onto entire, or almost entire, sidewalls of the semiconductor chips 14. The laser device 20 may rotate about 360.degree. in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI. along the sidewalls of the semiconductor chips 14. The laser beam 22 may uniformly heat the semiconductor chips 14 and the solder bumps 16, thereby preventing or minimizing bonding defects.

[0032] FIG. 4 shows an example of the laser device 20 fixed to a center of the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40 depicted in FIG. 1.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 4, the laser device 20 may be fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the arc part 44. For example, the laser device 20 may provide one semiconductor chip 14 with the laser beam 22 in a direction opposite to the third direction Z. When the plurality of semiconductor chips 14 are provided with the laser beam 22 in a direction opposite to the third direction Z, the plurality of semiconductor chips 14 and the solder bumps 16 may be irregularly heated to produce bonding defects. An uppermost one of the plurality of semiconductor chips 14 may be more highly heated than its underlying semiconductor chips, and thus the solder bumps 16 may be irregularly melted in a direction opposite to the third direction Z, which may result in the presence of bonding defects between the substrate 12 and the semiconductor chips 14.

[0034] FIG. 5 shows an example of the laser device 20 that moves along the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40 depicted in FIG. 1.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 5, the laser device 20 may move along the bottom surface or an inner sidewall of the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40 to provide the laser beam 22 to the sidewalls of the plurality of semiconductor chips 14. The laser device 20 may move in the polar angle direction .theta. relative to the third direction Z. Although not shown, the arc part 44 may have a moving driver therein. The moving driver may drive the laser device 20 to move along the bottom surface or the inner sidewall of the arc part 44.

[0036] FIG. 6 shows an example of a plurality of laser devices 20 that move along the second rotation support 40 depicted in FIG. 1.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 6, the plurality of laser devices 20 may move toward opposite sides of the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40 to provide the laser beams 22 to opposite sidewalls of the plurality of semiconductor chips 14. The laser beams 22 may uniformly heat the solder bumps 16 to bond the semiconductor chips 14 and the substrate 12 to each other without defects. Although not shown, the arc part 44 may have therein moving drivers that drive the plurality of laser devices 20 to move along the bottom surface or the inner sidewall of the arc part 44.

[0038] FIG. 7 shows an example of the laser bonding apparatus 100 according to the present inventive concepts.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 7, the laser bonding apparatus 100 according to the present inventive concepts may further include a first rotation driver 50, a second rotation driver 60, a plurality of guides 70, and/or a controller 80. The stage 10 and the laser device 20 may be configured identically to those of FIG. 1.

The first rotation driver 50 may drive the first rotation support 30 to rotate in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI.. The first rotation driver 50 may include a first motor 52 and a pulley 54. The first motor 52 may be connected to the controller 80. The first motor 52 may generate a rotation power in response to a control signal from the controller 80. The pulley 54 may be connected to a central shaft of the first motor 52. The pulley 54 may be in contact with an outer sidewall of the first rotation support 30. When the first motor 52 generates the rotation power, the pulley 54 may produce friction with the first rotation support 30 and may force the first rotation support 30 to rotate in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI..

[0041] The second rotation driver 60 may be associated with one side of the second rotation support 40. For example, the second rotation driver 60 may be associated with one of the axle parts 42 of the second rotation support 40. The second rotation driver 60 may include a second motor. The second rotation driver 60 may be connected to the controller 80. In response to a control signal from the controller 80, the second rotation driver 60 may drive the second rotation support 40 to cause its axle parts 42 and the arc part 44 to rotate in the polar angle direction .theta..

[0042] A first contact point 46 may be provided on the bottom surface or the inner sidewall of the arc part 44 of the second rotation support 40. The first contact point 46 may be disposed between the laser device 20 and one of the axle parts 42. The first contact point 46 may be connected to the controller 80.

[0043] The guides 70 may be placed under the arc part 44. The first rotation support 30 may be provided with the guides 70 coupled to its inner sidewall adjacent to one of the axle parts 42 of the second rotation support 40. Alternatively, the guides 70 may be installed on the first rotation support 30 under the arc part 44. The guides 70 may each have a finger shape or a quarter-sphere shape. The guides 70 may have their second contact points 78. The second contact points 78 may be arranged in the polar angle direction .theta. at a regular angle and/or interval. The second contact points 78 may be connected to the controller 80. Whenever the arc part 44 rotates in the polar angle direction .theta., one of the second contact points 78 may be electrically connected to the first contact point 46. The controller 80 may be configured such that an electrical connection signal between the first contact point 46 and one of the second contact points 78 is detected to distinguish a rotation angle in the polar angle direction .theta. of the arc part 44. For example, the controller 80 may distinguish an inclined angle in the polar angle direction .theta. of the laser device 20 with respect to the semiconductor chips 14.

[0044] FIG. 8 shows an example of the guides 70 depicted in FIG. 7.

[0045] Referring to FIG. 8, the guides 70 may include a first guide 72, a second guide 74, and/or a third guide 76. The first guide 72 may be arranged in the third direction Z. The second guide 74 may be arranged inclined at about 30.degree. in the polar angle direction .theta. relative to the third direction Z. The third guide 76 may be arranged inclined at about 60.degree. in the polar angle direction .theta. relative to the third direction Z. The first, second, and third guides 72, 74, and 76 may each have the second contact point 78. When the arc part 44 overlaps one of the first, second, and third guides 72, 74, and 76, the first contact point 46 may be electrically connected to the second contact point 78.

[0046] The controller 80 may control such that the first and second rotation drivers 50 and 60 drive the laser device 20 to rotate in the azimuthal angle direction .PHI. and the polar angle direction .theta. with respect to the substrate 12. For example, the controller 80 may operate to provide the semiconductor chips 14 with the laser beam 22 irradiated vertically or slantingly based on the number or height of the semiconductor chips 14 on the substrate 12. In addition, the controller 80 may use an electrical connection signal between the first and second contact points 46 and 78 to distinguish an inclined angle in the polar angle direction .theta. of the laser device 20 with respect to the semiconductor chips 14.

[0047] The controller 80 may include or be implemented in processing circuitry such as hardware including logic circuits; a hardware/software combination such as a processor executing software; or a combination thereof. For example, the processing circuitry more specifically may include, but is not limited to, a central processing unit (CPU), an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a digital signal processor, a microcomputer, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a System-on-Chip (SoC), a programmable logic unit, a microprocessor, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc.

[0048] When an electrical connection is made between the second contact point 78 of the first guide 72 and the first contact point 46 of the arc part 44, the controller 80 may distinguish that the semiconductor chips 14 are provided with the laser beam 22 irradiated in the third direction Z. When the first contact point 46 is connected to the second contact point 78 of the second guide 74, the controller 80 may distinguish that the semiconductor chips 14 are provided with the laser beam 22 irradiated at an inclined angle of about 30.degree. in the polar angle direction .theta.. When the first contact point 46 is connected to the second contact point 78 of the third guide 76, the controller 80 may distinguish that the semiconductor chips 14 are provided with the laser beam 22 irradiated at an inclined angle of about 60.degree. in the polar angle direction .theta..
